Nutty Vegan Chocolate Digestives Instructions 

• Preheat your oven to 180C/160C fan.
• Mix the oats, sugar, baking powder and salt in a bowl, then pour in the oil, milk and maple syrup. Mix to create a dough (if the dough is too soft, place in the fridge for 15-20 minutes).
• Roll out between 2 sheets of baking paper, then use a round cookie cutter to cut out the biscuits.
• Arrange on a baking tray and bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown. Leave to cool completely.
• In the meantime dry toast the almonds in a pan for a few minutes until they brown sightly. Set to one side to cool.
• Melt the dark chocolate in the microwave, then fold in the toasted almonds until fully coated.
• Once the biscuits have cooled, top each with some of the almond chocolate mixture, then place in the fridge for 5-10 minutes to allow the chocolate to set.
• Store in an air-tight container at room temperature.
